Love, Calvin

Love, Calvin (Scott Johnson) is one of my favorite hometaping artists. Johnson's songs (whose style captures punk's intensity while possessing subtlety, immediate melodies and hooks) all have a truly unique perspective that will remind you of other songwriters with truly unique prospectives. Syd Barrett comes to mind but that's too easy. Love, Calvin has a tremendous body of work, with each tape having a personality. You've heard of musicians describing their albums like they were their living, breathing children. Love, Calvin's tapes are like that to me, even though I didn't create them. I hear them and they become like my own.
